Hello Everyone! I thought this week’s post would be about 10 pictures because Mark has been out of town and I didn’t have a lot of time to be inspired (aka time) to pick up my camera or phone. I was wrong. There are a whooping 41 images for you to enjoy this week.

Here’s our week . . .

Still a gummy grin except for a tiny tooth in front.

We got to see a little snow. Nothing stuck, but the boys thought it was the most awesome thing in the world. It was about 20 degrees in this picture. They played outside for a good 30 minutes. They told me they were in the Polar Express.

They tried to eat it. 

While they romped outside, I stayed warm inside with this little nugget.

Brooks is drawing No Noggin again from Curious George.

We fancied up our Hot Cocoa game – whipped coconut cream, marshmallows, cinnamon, and truffle sprinkles (some of my truffles crumbled when I made them last week).

Thank you Trader Joe’s for making this product. Its pure cream with no coconut water. Whips up just like heavy cream.

Morning light.

He is sick again (pink antibiotic stains on his chest). Its minor but it feels major.

Jonas LOVES pickles!

I think he likes the zing and he can hold it and chew.

Smoked Salmon bowls with roasted green beans (maple syrup, sesame oil, and soy sauce) for 3 special litle men. 

Our leftover buttermilk went towards these Buttermilk Love Cakes (that’s seriously the name of the recipe).

He likes the giraffes on his toes.

Is he 12 already? 

I took some pictures for his preschool. I guess he gets a graduation in May.

I told him to have a regular smile.

“But Mom . . .”

“I do have a regular smile.”

He always keeps one eye on me when he drinks.

Silas wanted to be in the picture next to the bread.

Sometimes lunch looks this and I think I am going to do this more often. 

Another Saturday night Indian feast. I think we found our favorite place. 

Math.

Another snow picture.

Can you see his tooth?

Remember how I told you Mark was out of town? He was suffering in somewhere Southern California.

Trading President cards.

They did this by themselves. Chores are paying off.

One of many ships built this week. Can you see the driver?

They spent some time (like a half hour) poking holes in a box with airplanes.

Hey buddy! He helped me do chores.

We are on the verge of getting a haircut. Those pisky little pieces around the ears and on the nape of his neck.

I might of wore these super warm socks for 3 days straight (and maybe I didn’t shower for that amount of time as well.)

 

Silas is writting his name! I had no clue he could even write an “S.”

Lockers. Mark took this so I have no clue what is happening in this picture.

These guys love riding their bikes.

This is the closest to winter that we will probably get this year. I soaked up every minute.

 

See you next week!
